Theatres of migritude: towards a dramaturgy of African futures

Mwenya, Kabwe Beverly 11 September 2023 (has links) (PDF)
The thesis aims to contribute to the genre of black migrant cultural production called migritude, developed largely in African diasporic literary circles and tracing its evolution from the Négritude movement. It will mobilize Shailja Patel's significant work to shape a new migritude that stands in continuation and in contestation with the older version of this artistic project. The research question at the heart of the thesis is, what does it mean to have a migrant attitude for theatre and performance making? The thesis explores an approach to thinking about how a relationship between migration and African futurism can be put towards a dramaturgical practice mobilized in the direction of possibility, potential and a more hopeful future. The quest undertaken here is to find out what alternative understandings of African migrancy exist in the spirit of the five case studies, namely Migritude by Shailja Patel, Every Year, Every Day I am Walking by Magnet Theatre, Moj of the Antartctic: An African Odyssey by Mojisola Adebayo, Afrogalactica Deep Space Scrolls by Kapwani Kiwanga and Astronautus Afrikanus, devised by a group of students at Rhodes University under my direction. By analysing each of these performance texts through a different lens, the thesis aims to develop a pliable dramaturgical framework for a migrant attitude which leverages some of the aesthetic features of migritude artistic work as noted by Vanita Reddy (2020). These include defining Africa by movement, linking the concept of migrant with the concept of colonial history and the diasporic refusal of return. Here a migrant attitude also includes Thomas Nail (2015) and Veejay Prashad's (2010) contentions that the migrant is central to a project of social re-imagining, as well as Mark Fleishman's (2015) notion of a dramaturgy of displacement where movement and migration form a core part of both the form and content of the work.

Énonciation et transtextualité dans le roman africain francophone de la migritude / Enunciation and transtextuality in the francophone African novel of the migritude

Liambou, Ghislain Nickaise 20 April 2015 (has links)
Le thème de l’immigration a inspiré une floraison d’œuvres littéraires francophones. Celles-ci prennent appui sur les grandes mobilités humaines et technologiques inhérentes au XXIesiècle et figurent les défis propres à la société de globalisation, principalement les problèmes de cohabitation interculturelle. La réception de ce corpus, dans le cas du roman africain subsaharien, parle de l’émergence d’une "nouvelle génération" de romanciers africains; thèse par ailleurs accréditée par la démarche institutionnelle des écrivains migrants eux-mêmes, comme en témoigne l’affiliation de certains au mouvement de la "littérature-monde" en français. La thèse se propose d’interroger cette problématique à travers une approche inspirée de l’analyse du discours littéraire. Elle se fonde sur le rappel de l’historiographie du roman africain de voyage. Il s’agit d’abord de questionner la périodisation des œuvres qui mettent en scène le parcours d’un personnage africain en Occident, dont certaines, bien que fondatrices, sont rarement prises en compte par le discours critique. Ensuite l’analyse porte sur la comparaison des œuvres de la "négritude" et celles de la "migritude",d’une part à l’aune des catégories comme le personnage, l’espace et l’imaginaire; d’autre part à travers les phénomènes d’intertextualité entre ces romans. Enfin, à la lumière des théories postcoloniales et de la sociologie du fait littéraire, la thèse présente cette littérature émergente comme la réécriture d’une archive; l’interrogation relative à l’accessibilité de l’Afrique et de sa diaspora à la culture du monde global. En cela la "migritude" se pose comme un mot-valise qui intègre aussi le discours de la "négritude". / The topic of immigration has inspired an explosion of novels in Francophone Literature. They usually lean on the twenty-first century’s mobility of people and technologies in order to fictionalize issues related to cosmopolitanism. In the specific context of sub-Saharan African Literature, literary criticism assimilates this corpus to the ‘’Migritude’’, a phenomenon presented as the raising of a new generation of African writers in contemporary France. The writer’s institutional approach also comes to strengthen this perception. Indeed, a mess of them have signed the manifesto of the World Literature in French. Our thesis needs to examine these problems through the Literature Discourse Analysis approach. The primary step is about the reminder of historiography related to postcolonial African travel fictions. Afterwards the reflection seeks to compare those African novels, between the founding and the recent, on the basis of categories such as characters, space and imaginary. With regard to postcolonial theories as well as the narrative phenomenon of intertextuality, this thesis finally consider the emerging of post-colonial African Travel Literature as the rewriting of an archive running across Francophone African travel-writings since the early twenty century. They all question the accessibility of Africa and its diaspora to the Global Culture.

Le rêve européen dans la littérature négro-africaine d'expression française / The european dream in the negro-african literature of french expression

Abdi Farah, Omar 30 June 2015 (has links)
Les épigones de la Négritude nous ont habitués, dans la confrontation de l’Afrique et l’Europe, à la mise en scène d’un personnage qui, après avoir rêvé d’Europe avec des stéréotypes de l’image de la France véhiculées par l’école coloniale, est confronté, lors de son séjour en Europe, aux conditions de l’exil avec l’éloignement de la terre maternelle à laquelle porte toutes ses aspirations. Mais avec les écrivains de la Migritude, l’émigration vers l’Europe prend un contour différent, elle n’est plus motivée par une volonté de découverte mais une fuite de la terre maternelle devenue répulsive alors que l’Europe est aux yeux du migrant un lieu attractif enjolivé par les récits des immigrés qui ont déjà fait le voyage. Ce présent travail de recherche s’efforce de rendre compte de l’évolution qui s’est opérée sur la représentation de l’immigration en Europe depuis les écrivains de la première génération jusqu’à ceux de la seconde. / The followers of the Negritude accustomed us to the confrontation between Africa and Europe through the staging of a character-dreaming of Europe with stereotyped images of France conveyed by the colonial school-who is confronted with the conditions of exile during his stay in Europe and the remoteness of motherland which bears all his aspirations. But for the writers of Migritude, emigration to Europe takes a different turn; it is no longer motivated by a desire for discovery but an escape from the native land which has become repulsive, while Europe is in the eyes of migrants, an attractive place embellished by the stories of immigrants who, have already made the journey. The present research seeks to reflect on the change that has taken place on the representation of immigration in Europe, from the writers of the first generation to those of the second generation.
